[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 76734, member: 1991"] "Priscilla - Queen of the Desert", the "Crocodile Dundee" films (first is best), "Gallipoli" (dir. by Peter Weir), "The Odd Angry Shot" (about Vietnam - about Australia's SAS, like a non-medical M*A*S*H - there's a really fun scene with a competition between this particular SAS unit and a US Marines unit) and for the slightly more chick-flicky stuff (but not so much the boys don't enjoy it) - "Travelling North" with Julia Blake and Leo McKern. All Aussie films but all very watchable. I also love anything with Tom Hanks - I can take or leave Meg Ryan, but I do like both the two films you mentioned with Tom Hanks, Nomad. Most stuff with Dustin Hoffman, although "Rain Man" is a bit close to the bone. A lot of stuff with Robin Williams, where he's not playing himself too much. "Shawshank Redemption" was even set as a film to study, with our high school students a few years ago - and "Truman Show" (Peter Weir again). Both brilliant. I'm curious about "Evan Almighty" - it could be great, or it could be kitsch. But on the subject of 'religious' films, "Oh, God" was amazing. I remember a film awards night for sci-fi/fantasy films, Charlton Heston was on the podium when George Burns was announced. As he came to the podium George Burns pushed Heston aside. "Move over," he said. "You only got to play Moses." "Hairspray" is big in our cinemas right now, what I've seen looks good. Can't wait until it comes out on DVD. Marg [/QUOTE]
